Reply To: Missing Avios from BA Shopping

[TooPoorToBeHere]

All cashback sites have problems with valid purchases declining the cashback/points afterwards, and to be fair there is a LOT of cookie-and-session-tracking nonsense behind the scenes.

For purchases where the cashback/points are significant – eg the multi-£100-topcashback finance ones, I do this:

* Start a screen recording session with audio
* Talk through the process as I go
* Open a brand new browser session in porn mode so there are zero saved cookies
* Capture the whole process with commentary highlighting the terms and that I am complying with them – ie complete purchase from click-through entirely online – from opening browser session, sign-in, click-through and complete the transaction in one go as per the terms
* Save the recording

I’ve yet to have to challenge one for lack of cashback when using one of the more reputable sites (ie not BA) armed with this, but I’d feel reasonably confident going through the “formal complaint, letter to company secretary, court claim” process armed with that.
